The Commonwealth of Orange Z is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, feral children, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.06 billion Orange Zians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Z. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orange Zian economy, worth 453 trillion Oranges a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,613 Oranges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, childish pranks are no laughing matter, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orange Z's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Orange Z is ranked 7,747^th in the world and 18^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 10,681.15 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
